Soft Blue Eyes

14: Sleepyhead

The two of you finally pulled into the driveway of Matt's house, having been out for a while. It was around 2pm when you guys got back, which was way later then you guys intended to be out for.

Originally, the plan was for you and Freddy to go clothes shopping, and then go shopping for hygienic products for you. However, you got hungry, and you ended up sitting at a restaurant, and ordering something small.

~~~~~

You ordered a small plate of chicken tenders, with a side of fries, and a water to drink. Freddy of course didn't want anything, and you just shrugged it off.

When the waitress came up to greet you, she took one look at Freddy and panicked, quickly taking your order, and rushing back to the kitchen. Freddy looked hurt by her reaction, and you couldn't do anything but feel bad for him.

Other than that reaction, the rest of your meal went fine overall. The both of you of course got the occasional stares, and the judge mental whispers, but other than that no one bothered you.

It didn't take you long to finish your meal, and you paid the bill, and then left a 20% tip. You and Freddy then got up and left, people all turning to look at the both of you as you walked out the front doors.

As you both got back into the car, you turned on the ignition, but you just stopped after the car started up. You didn't back up, you just sat there. You put a hand on your face, trying to cover up the fact that tears were starting to fall down your cheeks.

You felt like you shouldn't have even been crying, it was Freddy who was hurting the most. However, he toughed it out, which was something you just couldn't do, at least not at that moment.

You hated seeing the way people were treating your boyfriend. So what if he was an animatronic? He was advanced, he could feel emotion, he could do almost anything anyone else could do. You were just tired of it.

Freddy noticed you starting to cry, and pulled you in for a small hug, since it wasn't the easiest thing to do in the car. He held you there for a bit until you calmed down, and you felt bad about it.

"I'm sorry, I don't even know why I'm crying, I'm not the one having to directly deal with all of the judgement. I'm sorry Freddy." You said, and he shushed you. "Y/N, there's no need to be sorry. Some people just hold their emotions together better than others. There's nothing wrong with letting your emotions out." He explained, and he patted your shoulder.

You sniffled and nodded, sitting back up into your seat, focusing on the steering wheel, and both the gas and brake pedals. As you shifted the gear into reverse, you backed out of the parking lot, and shifted back into drive, and starting your drive back to Matt's house.

~~~~~

And so, that's how you ended up getting home at 2pm, instead of earlier. It didn't really matter though, it's not like you had anything planned. The only thing you really needed to do was look for a job, even though you hadn't been successful before.

You pulled the keys out of the ignition, and stuffed them back into your pocket, opening your car door and getting out. After you closed it, you watched as Freddy did the same, and he walked over to you.

Before you walked inside, Freddy pulled you in for a tight, warm and cozy hug. He just held you there for a few moments, not saying a word. It felt nice, and you just let all your sorrows fade away.

"I love you Y/N, so much. We're gonna be just fine, alright?" Freddy cooed, finally letting you go out of his grasp. "I love you too Freddy, more than you'll ever know." You said, trying hard not to cry in happiness.
